PROCESS FOR MANUFACTURING STUFF PICTURES.

Application filed October 2'8, 192-3, Serial No. 671,021, and in Germany December 1, 1922.

Figure 1 is a view of a stuff picture made by my improved process; Y

Figure .Zshows the different parts of the stuff picture, made for example by my im- 5 proved process. v

My invention relates to that class of the art-industry line, and concerns a process for" manufacturing of stuff picturesywhich may be used as original and artistic wall ornaments, as well as for advertising purposes. The process for manufacturing of stuff pictures is as follows: The design must be painted on paper or canvas, showing the colours required, and serving in the first place as copy for the picture to be produced and forming part of the stocks later on. This design is then transferred on thick cardboard or thin smooth wood and care- 00 fully cut or sawn out along the outlines delineated. All the little bits thus out or sawn out serve as patterns for the manufacturing of the picture. The term stufl comprises all sorts of manufactures as tissue cloths, all sorts of silk, cotton stuffs, all sorts of wool and half wool, union cloth, fancy cloth, plane cloth, all sorts of velvet, and all sorts of leather. The colours of the materials employed must be those of the design. If for 9 the sake of variety the same design is copied in various colours differing from those of the original design, the new colours must be carefully chosen, so as to harmonize'with each other.

Before being out according to the patbut very resistant paper, in order to avoid fuzzing and getting out of shape; The different parts of the 'picturet-he hat a, the 0 ribbon of the hat 6 and Z2 the hair 0 and 0 the face (Z, the boa e, the blouse f, the tie 0, the belt h, the dog '5, the ribbon of the dog k,

. background II'-are then stuck on thick card- 4 terns, the material must be stuck on thin.

the cloak Z, the petticoat m, the hands n and m the money-bag 0, the boots 3? and 10 the vertical background I and the horizontal board, which, if required, must first be c0vered with the so-called background. lncase the designs are very complicated, it will be well to draw the chief outlines on the cardboard first. After the different bits'cut out have been stuck on the cardboard, they must be well pressed. When all the different bits have been stuck on, the picture, Figurel, is ready and is framed andglazed with or without border.

These s0 manufactured stuff'pictures may be adapted to any place and any taste, with regard to the design as well as the stuff or leather employed. As to the designs, not. only landscapes and still-life, but also figures and caricatures as for example shown in Figure: 1, may be chosen. The stuff pictures may be manufactured in the most varied kinds, which variety may also be obtained by manufacturing the same design of different kinds of stuff of various colours, for which figures and caricatures are especially appropriate. V J

Whatl claim as my invention and wish to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is

The herein described process of manufacturing fabric pictures which consists in drawj ing the desired design on fabric, adhesively securing asheet of paper tothe back of the 5 fabric, cutting the fabric and paper in accordance with the design and attaching the cut out paper backed fabric to acovered base.

In testimony whereof, I have affixed my signature. I I
